[monit] changing relative paths of monit web server

[Simon Mullis]

Hi All.

Is there a way to explicitly set the relative URL path for the monit web server?

I want to be able to expose the monit web server via a reverse proxy
(in this case nginx).

The nginx.conf entry:

location /path/to/monit {
    rewrite ^/path/to/monit/(.*) /$1 break;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812
}

The html created by the monit web server has all of its hrefs as
coming from the root.

So, we have links of the form: <a href='/mysqld'>mysqld</a>

I would like to have links created based on a relative path:

<a href='/path/to/monit/mysqld'>mysqld</a>

Looking at the source - specifically the config parser (p.y) - I don't
see this as an option:

sethttpd        : SET HTTPD PORT NUMBER httpdlist {
                   Run.dohttpd= TRUE;
                   Run.httpdport= $4;
                 }

I'm also looking into doing this with the web server (using
"sub_filter" on nginx) but I'm not convinced that it supports regexes
and capture groups.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind Regards

SM
